Te Whakapaeanga o Hiruhārama

¹Taukiri e! Tōna haumarurutanga o te kōura!Tōna putanga kētanga o te kōura parakore, tino pai!Kua ringihia ngā kōhatu o te wāhi tapuki te ahunga mai o ngā ara katoa.

²Ko ngā tamariki a Hiona ko ngā mea papai,i rite nei ki te kōura parakore, taukiri e!Kua kīia rātou he hāka oneone,he mea hanga nā ngā ringa o te kaipokepoke.

³Ko ngā kīrehe mohoao nei hoki, e tukua iho ana te ū e rātou,e whakangotea ana e rātou ā rātou kūao;kua taikaha te tamāhine a tōku iwi,kua rite ki ngā otereti o te koraha.

⁴Piri ana te arero o te tamaitingote ū ki te ngao o tōna māngai i te hiainu;e tono ana ngā kōhungahunga i te taro mā rātou,heoi kāhore he tangata hei whatiwhati atu mā rātou.

⁵Ko te hunga i kai i ngā mea papaikei te noho mokemoke i ngā ara.Ko te hunga i whakatupuria i roto i ngā kākahu ngangana,kei te awhi i ngā pūranga paru.

⁶Nō te mea ko te hē o te tamāhine a tōku iwinui atu i te hara o Horoma,i hurihia ohoreretia rā i mua,kāhore hoki he ringa i ū ki a ia.

⁷Ko ōna rangatira pai atu i te hukarere te pokekore,mā atu hoki rātou i te waiū,pūwhero ake ō rātou tinana i ngā rupi,orohina ake rātou ki te oro o te hapaira.

⁸Mangu iho tō rātou mata i tētahi ngārahu;kāhore rātou e mōhiotia i ngā ara.Piri tonu ō rātou kiri ki ō rātou wheua;kua memenge, kua rite ki te rākau.

⁹Ko te hunga i patua e te hoari,pai ake tō rātou i tō te hunga i patua e te hemokai;nō te mea ka honia noatia ēnei, ka werohia,he kore hoki nō ngā hua o te māra.

¹⁰Ko ngā wāhine, ko te hunga aroha,kei te kōhua i ā rātou tamariki ki ō rātou ringa;he kai ērā mā rātoui te wawāhanga o te tamāhine a tōku iwi.

¹¹Kua whakapaua e Ihowā tōna riri nui,kua ringihia mai e ia tōna riri nui;kua tahuna hoki e ia he ahi ki Hiona,nā reira i pau ai ōna tūranga.

¹²Kīhai i whakapono mai ngā kīngi o te whenua,kīhai anō hoki ngā tāngata o te ao,tērā te hoariri rāua ko te hoa whawhai e tomo maiki ngā kūwaha o Hiruhārama.

¹³I pērā ai he hara nō ōna poropiti,he hē nō ōna tohunga kua whakaheke neii ngā toto o te hunga tikaki waenganui ōna.

¹⁴E kōpikopiko ana rātouānō he matapō i ngā ara;Kua poke rātou i te toto,tē pā ai te tangata ki ō rātou kākahu.

¹⁵I karanga rātou ki a rātou; “Haere atu, e poke ana!Haere atu, haere atu, kei pā!”I tō rātou whatinga, i a rātou e ātiutiu noa atu ana,i kī ngā tāngata i roto i ngā tauiwi,“Kāhore he nohoanga iho mō rātou ki konei.”

¹⁶Kua wehewehea rātou e te riri o Ihowā;e kore ia e titiro ki a rātou i muri nei.Kīhai rātou i whakaaro ki ngā kanohi o ngā tohunga,kīhai i manako ki ngā kaumātua.

¹⁷E matawaia tonu ana ō tātou kanohii a tātou e titiro ana ki te āwhina tekateka noa mō tātou;i a tātou e tiaki atu ana,i whanga noa tātou ki te iwi e kore e whakaora.

¹⁸E whāia ana e rātou ō tātou hīkoinga,tē haere ai tātou i ō tātou waharoa.Kua tata tō tātou whakamutunga, kua rite ō tātou rā;nō te mea kua tae mai tō tātou whakamutunga.

¹⁹Nui atu te tere o ō tātou kaiwhaii tō ngā ēkara o te rangi;i arumia tātou e rātou i runga i ngā maunga;i whanga mai anō rātou ki a tātou i te koraha.

²⁰Ko te manawa o ō tātou pongaponga,ko tā Ihowā i whakawahi ai,i mau ki roto ki ā rātou rua;i kī rā tātou mōna, “Mā tōna taumarumarunga ihoka ora ai tātou i roto i ngā tauiwi.”

²¹Kia hari, kia koa, e te tamāhine a Ēromae noho nā i te whenua o Uhu;ka tae atu anō te kapu ki a koe;ka haurangi koe, ka whakarere anō koe i ōu kākahu.

²²Kua rite te whiu mō tōu hē, e te tamāhine a Hiona;heoi anō tāna whakaraunga i a koe.Ka whiua e ia tōu hē, e te tamāhine a Ēroma,ka hurahia anō e ia ōu hara.
